With school just around the corner, school lists are posted and back to school shopping is in full swing! Are your children ready for the start of the school year? Did you do anything to combat the dreaded “summer learning loss” with your kids this summer?

When I read the description for #BabyLove: My Toddler Life, I was very intrigued with the overall moral of the story: to put down our phones (and/or other devices) and focus on our loved ones.

But at what point does it cross the line from occasionally updating family & friends to oversharing? While you are busy taking multiple pictures, uploading to social media, and monitoring how many “likes” the picture of you and little Johnny at the zoo gets, are you in fact missing out on the memory itself? What an interesting concept for a children’s book!
